Deputies say Kelly called the Sheriff’s Office earlier Tuesday and explained he had bought some meth about a week earlier. He said he had a bad reaction after smoking the drug and asked if deputies could test the narcotic’s quality.

Kelly told police he wanted the substance tested because he wanted to “press charges” on the person who sold him the wrong narcotic, according to authorities.

At a detective’s invitation, Kelly drove to the Sheriff’s Office and handed over a clear, crystal-like substance wrapped in aluminum foil. Authorities say it field-tested positive for methamphetamine, and Kelly was arrested.

On its Facebook page, the Sheriff's Office says its detectives, "are always ready to assist anyone who believes they were misled in their illegal drug purchase."

Kelly was being held on $5,000 bail. Jail records didn’t list an attorney.
